SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 562,368, dated J' une23, 1896. Application lefl September 9, 1895. Serial No. 561,877. (Nomodel.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD FREDERICK BARRY, of Newton, in the county ofMiddlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in E yeleting-Machines, of which the following isaspecification.

This invention relates to eyeleting-machines, such as that shown in aformer patent granted to me August 29, 1893, No. 504,295. In the machineshown in that patent a number of interchangeable supports or anvils areshown, each constructed' to support an eyelet or an equivalentdevice,'such as a lacing-hook, and each adapted to coact with asetting-die, and-a plunger is employed which has provi sions forinterchanging of dies.

My improvement involves a single bed-plate with a plurality ofy supportsor anvils simultaneously adjustable, so that it is not necessary todisconnect one anvilfrom the machine iu substituting another for it. Inthis the invention may be said to chieiiy reside, al though there areother features which are claimed. v

The accompanying drawings illustrate an embodiment of the invention.

Figure l shows the machine 'partly in side elevation and partly insection. Fig. 2 shows a section on line 2 2, Fig. l, and a plan of theparts below 4said line. Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the bed-piece.Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show end views and longitudinal sections of the maledies employed. Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are sectional views of the bed-pieceand side views of the cooperating dies.

The letter a designates the Amain casting or supporting frame, which isof the form commonly employed in hand-stamps. The horizontal baseportion of said frame is bored ver tically to receive the stem b of acircular bedpiece b which extends over the base. Said bed-piece is boredto receive two annular eyelet supports or anvils d d, adapted to supportthe annular outer ends'or flanges of eyelets, said dies being ofdifferent sizes, and having central orifices to receive the finger ofthe con operating eyelet-setting die f. (Shown in Figs. 4. and 7.) Acircular plate b2 is fastened on the bed-piece, and is provided withnotches b4 b5. The bed-piece is provided below said notches withrecesses o7 57, as indicated in Figs. l, S, and 9 and by dotted lines inFig. 2,

said recesses o7 being wider and deeper than the notches h4 bil-andformed to receive the 55 heads of lacing-studs and eyelet-hooks, asshown in Figs. 8 and 9. The Shanks of the said studs and hooks projectupwardly from the plate b2 and are held in position to cooperate withsetting-dies. thus adapted to hold different articles,`such as eyeletsand lacing hooks or studs of different sizes, the notched portions ofthe plate b2 constituting hook or stud supporting anvils.

The supporting-frame is provided with a seat a, which supports thebed-'piece b', the stem b of said bed-piece passing through a socket a2extendingV through the seat a and to the bottom 'of the frame, as shownin Fig. l.

Below the frame is a disk bs, afxed to the 7o stem b, said disk havingin its upper surface a series of recesses b9 corresponding in number andposition to the eyelet and lacing-stud holding devices above described.A springpressed latch or pin i, movable vertically in a 7 5 socket inthe base a, is adapted to yieldingly engage either of the recessesbfa'nd thus hold the bed-piece in either of a series of positions. Theseat a and the socket in which the stem Z9 is journaled cooperate inrmly supporting 8o the bed-piece b and preventing its displacementeither downwardly or laterally.

The letter j designates the plunger, which is arranged to slidevertically in the overhanging portion of the frame and is held up 8 5 bya spring j. A cam-leverk, pivoted to the frame, bears on the top of theplunger, and is used to depress the same. The plunger is made tubularfor a portion of its length from its lower end, for the reception of theshank 9o of any one of the dies f f f2, and the shank of each die isformed with an enoirclin g groove ma for engagement of a pin n on a flatspring n', fastened to the plunger. By these means each die is held inthe plunger in such a manner as to permit its ready removal.

The die f is for setting eyelets m and coperates with either of theeyelet-supporting anvils d, the tube of the eyelet projecting upwardlyfrom the anvil CZ to receive the prorco jecting finger of the die f, asshown in Fig. 7. The die f' is for setting lacing-hooks m,

The bed-piece is 6o which are provided with eyelets or eyeletshapedshanks. This die acts in conjunction with a hole b in the plate b2 atthe inner end of the notch b5, the eyelet portion of the hook beingbrought in line with said hole by fitting the throat of the hook overthe edge of the plate, as shown in Fig. 8, the recess 12T of the platepermitting the hook to be moved over far enough to bring its tubularportion in line with the hole.

The die f2 is for setting lacing-studs m2, and is formed with apyramidal spur f3, having the sides l 2 3 4, as shown in Fig. G. Thisdie works in conjunction with the part of the plate b2 having the notchb4, said notch permittin g the stud to stand in proper alinement withthe plunger. The object of the pyramidal formation above mentioned is tocause the tubular part of the stud to be cut at four equidistant pointsby the angles of the die, formed by the sides l 2 3 4t, so that it willbe divided into four prongs.

It will be seen that the machine can be readily adapted for eithersetting fast-color and other eyelets, lacing-hooks, or lacingstuds, bymanipulation of the bed-piece and insertion of the proper die in theplunger.

The machine organized as described will set various sizes of eyelets,eyelet-hooks, and lacing-studs, and is well adapted for settingso-called fast-color eyelets, and fast-color and agatine lacing studsand hooks.

I claiml. A machine for setting eyelets and other analogous fasteningdevices7 the same comprising a supporting-frame having a base and anoverhanging part; a vertically-movable plunger in said overhanginc; parthaving means for interchangeably holding diffeient setting-dies; abed-piece recessed from its circumference toward its center at one ormore points and bored through at others, said bed-piece being mounted torotate on a vertical axis in the base and having such axis of rotationout of alinement with the longitudinal center of said plunger; one ormore tubular anvils set in the holes bored in the bed-piece and formedat their upper ends to support eyelets; a plate fastened on the bedpiece and notched over the recesses t-herein and formed to accommodatethe said tubular anvil or anvils; and means for locking the bed-piece indifferent positions, all arranged substantially as and for the purposedescribed.

2. A machine for setting eyelets and other analogous fastening devices,the same comprising a supporting-frame having a seat, a socket extendingdownwardly therefrom, and a part overhanging said base; averticallymovable plunger in said overhanging part having means forinterchangeably holding different setting-dies; a bed-piece bearing onsaid seat and having a stem journaled in said socket7 said bed-piecealso having a plurality of auvils each adapted to cooperate with a dieheld by said plunger; a plate affixed to said stem below the base andprovided with a number of depressions in its upper side; and a latch orbolt in the base, spring-pressed downwardly against the said plate andadapted to enter the depressions therein to hold the bed-piece atdifferent position, and to keep the latter pressed down upon its seat.

In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification, in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses, this 3d day of September, A. D.1895.
